Kettlebell class

The kettlebell class just had their 9th class and they’re working so hard. A lot of people in the class know each other, so maybe they’re a little bit competitive, or who knows what the explanation is, but no matter what I throw at them they seem to get it immediately and to attack a workout like a pack of wolves. It makes me tired just watching them!

In the past few sessions I’ve used some workouts involving the basic, “staple” kettlebell exercises that are used often in CrossFit workouts: the deadlift, swing, one-hand swing, clean, highpull, and snatch, plus push-ups and sit-ups. Trainees who had never seen a kettlebell before a month ago have learned these so well that I wish I had them on video as an example of what beginners can be capable of.

Two recent workouts:

As many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:5 1-hand swings per side
5 cleans with 2 KBs5 snatches per side
